If you get an XL7 no expansions, with a Virus Indigo or KC, you will be able to
sequence dance music to your hearts content and this is a VERY respectible setup
for dance music.  The only other thing you would need is a sampler and you can
get very good samplers now for next to nothing used.

So riddle me this, if I get the X-7, I can use it as a sequencer for
an external keyboard such as the virus-kc?

How will this work?
